Yep, would be nice! To make it more challenging: I'd also like to have
a seperate CRAN logo for some time now, such that it is easier to see
on what pages you are on. Of course it should be related to the R logo
such that one knows it is for the same thing.  We thought about adding
some cranberries to the R logo (and maybe call CRAN goodies
cranberries like Java has it's beans), but of course we're open for
all good suggestions.

Best,
Fritz
